Royole Technology and China Telecom join forces to build a new 5G interconnection ecosystem

During the 5G new infrastructure construction period, major telecom operators went all out to build their own facilities. Among them, China Telecom also handed in a brilliant answer sheet. They seized this opportunity, overcame the impact of the epidemic, increased speed and rushed to progress. So far, more than 350,000 5G base stations have been opened, covering more than 300 cities across the country, and built the world's largest co-construction and sharing 5G network. At the same time, China Telecom strengthened cloud-network integration, continued to accelerate new infrastructure, and actively empowered new infrastructure with "cloud-network integration", injecting surging "cloud" power into the development of the digital economy. 5G also brings unlimited hope to all mobile phone manufacturers and participants. Among them, Royole Technology, a unicorn company that provides flexible screen technology, is also making improvements on flexible screens. Its self-developed FlexPai 2 folding screen mobile phone has impressed consumers. So, how can mobile phone manufacturers and operators work together sincerely to release the huge potential of 5G?

Recently, Royole Technology and China Telecom held a new product launch conference for the Telecom version of the FlexPai 2 folding screen mobile phone in Beijing, and announced the establishment of the "China Telecom-Royole Technology Fusion Innovation Laboratory".

Telecom version of FlexPai 2, flexible electronic technology and cloud network terminal integration to build a 5G smart ecosystem

Royole has been in the mobile phone industry for a long time. As early as 2018, Royole released the world's first consumer-grade foldable screen mobile phone FlexPai ahead of major mobile phone manufacturers around the world, bringing this new category of foldable screen mobile phones to consumers. Two years later, it released the new generation of foldable screen mobile phone FlexPai 2, which has been fully upgraded in hardware configuration, operating system and performance. The telecommunications version of FlexPai 2 launched by Royole in cooperation with China Telecom this time marks that Royole has entered a new stage in promoting the application of flexible electronic technology in the field of smart mobile terminals under the background of the full implementation of 5G technology.

According to Du Jianping, general manager of Royole Technology's mobile terminal business group, FlexPai 2 has an ultra-large 7.8-inch fully flexible screen, breaking the limits of mobile phone screens and expanding mobile vision. The third-generation cicada-wing fully flexible screen has a minimum bending radius of 1mm, mirror-like flatness, and a brightness increase of 1.5 times compared to the second generation; the response speed reaches 0.4ms, 1.2 times higher than the second generation; the contrast is 5 times higher than the second generation. The low color deviation is 1.5 times better than that of competing products, and the brightness attenuation optimization is 3.5 times better than that of competing products. In addition, with the support of Royole Technology's independently developed ultra-low temperature non-silicon process integration technology (ULT-NSSP) and intelligent mechanical simulation model, the third-generation cicada-wing fully flexible screen can withstand about 1.8 million bends, and the bending performance is greatly improved.

In terms of chip module configuration, FlexPai 2 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 865 mobile platform, and the KryoTM 585 CPU performance is 25% higher than the previous generation platform. The AdrenoTM 650 GPU graphics rendering speed is 25% higher than the previous generation platform, the KryoTM 585 CPU performance is 25% higher than the previous generation platform, and the SpectraTM 480 ISP has a processing speed of up to 2 billion pixels per second.

As a cutting-edge technology product in the 5G era, FlexPai 2 supports NSA and SA networking, dual SIM dual standby, 7 modes and 47 frequencies, including 9 frequencies for 5G, and supports the main network frequency bands of core operators around the world to meet users' global travel needs. It also supports 5G message push and reception.

In terms of independent technology, in addition to the flexible screen, the most eye-catching is the Royole 3STM fully closed linear hinge created by FlexPai 2. It is reported that it has 211 patents, and the screen and hinge are perfectly integrated. Seamless folding can be achieved, and the thickness is reduced by nearly 40% compared with the previous generation of products. FlexPai 2 can achieve free hovering of the fuselage at any angle of 0-180°, and adjust the folding angle at will. In terms of materials, Royole 3STM fully closed linear hinge uses a variety of top aviation-grade metal materials, including aluminum-titanium alloy, liquid metal, etc. The hinge has extremely high-precision technology and consists of a total of 200 precision components and precision transmission parts. The dimensional tolerance of the smallest part is ±0.01mm.

So what are the highlights of the Telecom version of FlexPai 2? According to Du Jianping, the Telecom version of FlexPai 2 deeply integrates China Telecom's cloud-network-end integrated services. The ultra-large screen and flagship configuration can perfectly support cloud computer applications, turning the mobile phone into a personal computer in an instant, further improving the business experience and office efficiency in mobile office scenarios.

The meaning behind the Telecom version of FlexPai 2

Nowadays, many mobile phone manufacturers have released foldable screen mobile phones. I believe that the cool appearance is not just to attract attention, but more importantly, it must be implemented, to serve users effectively, and to bring users a real operating feel and a good experience. However, due to the complexity of technology and cumbersome processes, the price of foldable screen mobile phones has always remained high. The price of over 10,000 yuan is obviously not conducive to the popularization and promotion of foldable screen mobile phones. FlexPai 2 is a 5G foldable screen mobile phone under 10,000 yuan. Obviously, the price drop will help attract users with demand and wait-and-see users to buy, and it will also be more conducive to the advancement and popularization of foldable screen mobile phones.

China Telecom's achievements in 5G network architecture transformation are obvious to all. It has overcome the key core technical difficulties of cloud-network integration and achieved phased results, such as the independently developed SDN orchestrator, IoT cloud enabling platform, cloud virtualization infrastructure management platform, and object-oriented distributed storage system.

However, the development achievements of telecommunications technology need to be perfectly reflected in the terminal so that users can feel the speed brought by 5G. Through this cooperation, Royole Technology has obtained the channel support of China Telecom, and China Telecom has also obtained higher-end 5G, cloud-network-terminal integrated service terminals, thus achieving the purpose of enhancing service value.

Fusion Innovation Laboratory established, Royole Technology and China Telecom jointly promote the Internet of Everything

At the meeting, Royole Technology also announced that it would work with China Telecom to establish the "China Telecom-Royole Technology Convergence Innovation Laboratory". Li Hua, general manager of China Telecom's mobile terminal operation center, and Du Jianping, general manager of Royole Technology's mobile terminal business group, unveiled the laboratory as representatives of both parties.

It is understood that China Telecom is committed to "cloud transformation and digital transformation" and cloud-network integration practices, while Royole is deeply engaged in the field of flexible electronic technology, combining flexible interaction with 5G and artificial intelligence, and promoting the arrival of the era of the Internet of Everything through independently developed core flexible technologies. The two parties will work closely together to build a fusion innovation laboratory, which will bring more 5G terminal products and solutions to the market, as well as a more extreme 5G experience: cloud-network integration allows flexible screens and flexible sensors to get rid of complex chip and processor configurations, maximize their advantages of flexibility and lightness, and flexible technology can be more widely used on different surfaces and usage scenarios; at the same time, flexible screens and flexible sensors can make cloud-network integration benefit every user, allowing users to enjoy smart cloud services and high-speed, low-latency 5G networks anytime and anywhere through flexible interaction.

Accelerate digital upgrade

In recent years, my country has continuously made major breakthroughs in cutting-edge science and technology fields such as 5G, quantum communications, voice recognition, and supercomputers, and is transforming from "following" to "running side by side" and "leading". Mobile payments, sharing economy, online shopping, and robot manufacturing have flourished, achieving historic progress. However, we should also see that there are still certain gaps and shortcomings in key core technologies, information resource sharing, industrial support capabilities, and talent team building. Through this cooperation, Royole's independently innovative technology can be quickly implemented with the help of China Telecom, promoting the research and development and industrialization of digital and intelligent products, and accelerating the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements and the pace of localization substitution.

Summarize

Flexible electronic technology can achieve the flexibility of information acquisition, processing, transmission, display and energy, and realize the true interconnection of all things with its better biocompatibility. It can be seen that flexible electronic technology will have a subversive impact on the future field of information technology. At the same time, the integration of flexible electronic technology with cloud network and 5G will accelerate the digital transformation of my country's telecommunications industry. In the future, Royole will work with China Telecom to create more convenient, reliable and easy-to-interact smart mobile terminal products and solutions, and jointly build a new ecosystem of the Internet of Everything based on 5G. I hope that the sparks of the collision between the two can shine brightly.
